United Airlines
United Airlines traces its origins to 1926 as Varney Air Lines, one of the earliest U.S. airmail carriers, before growing through mergers into United Air Lines, and it became one of the largest airlines in the world across the 20th century. United was involved in one of the most consequential events in aviation security history when United Flight 175 and United Flight 93 were among the four aircraft hijacked in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, with United Flight 93's passengers' actions widely credited with preventing an intended attack on Washington, D.C. United merged with Continental Airlines in 2010, forming what was briefly the largest airline in the world by fleet size, and the combined carrier maintains one of the most extensive international route networks of any U.S. airline, particularly across the Pacific through its Chicago and San Francisco hubs. United Airlines's combination of its deep historical roots in early American airmail service and its extensive modern international route network has made it one of the most significant legacy carriers in aviation history.
VS
Emirates
Emirates was founded in 1985 in Dubai with initial backing from the government of Dubai, launching with just two leased aircraft, and it grew over the following decades into one of the largest and most prominent international airlines in the world. The airline built its business model around Dubai's strategic geographic position roughly equidistant from much of Europe, Asia, and Africa, using its Dubai International Airport hub to connect passengers traveling between distant global regions that previously required multiple connecting flights. Emirates became particularly known for its heavy investment in premium long-haul service, operating one of the largest fleets of Airbus A380 superjumbo aircraft in the world and building a reputation for luxury amenities, including onboard showers and private suites in its first-class cabins. Emirates's combination of its strategic Dubai hub connecting global regions and its heavy investment in luxury long-haul amenities has made it one of the most prominent and influential international airlines in modern aviation.
